Scanning, copying, and faxing troubleshooting

Scanning or using a scanned image with a software program takes a long time or freezes the computer

1Open the Lexmark All-In-One Center (see page 13).

2From the Scan section, click See More Scan Settings.

3Click Display Advanced Scan Settings.

4From the Scan tab of Advanced Scan Settings, enter a lower scan resolution.

Scanning was not successful

The software may not be installed properly. Follow the instructions for “AIO is not communicating with the computer” on page 47.
